What Could Have Happened

?What could have happened before?Plenty of years before the actual Jack visited the hotel, someone had already been there. The funny thing is that it’s someone who looks like him. Anybody could swear it’s him. But how is it possible? More than 40 years had passed and the man in the picture (who looks like he’s in his mid-forties) was still alive and all, visiting the hotel (again)? Some old people living in the town, who were relatively close to the hotel owners, say that nobody really knew the man in the picture. His smile is scary, and when you realize it’s someone who nobody could identify, and the fact that you were there when the picture was taken, you don’t know how to react. The hotel and the town itself are famous due to its mental sanity shortage nowadays. According to a 1922 census, more than forty percent of the inhabitants suffered from nightmares and hallucinations, which in most cases ended in dementia. Most patients would often talk about a man who would speak to them every time winter came. Voices, that is. There’s no real explanation to what could have happened before it all begun or what could have caused dementia all of sudden to these people. It doesn’t make sense, it’s true that nobody knows how it started, but at the same time, they all look like they know something they can’t decipher, and the ones who are still healthy only want to forget everything related to it.

The practice of socially responsible marketing has many distinct advantages for businesses who choose to embrace it.
In terms of financial advantages, the government has established a number of tax-cuts and other benefits for companies in many industries as incentives to be more socially responsible. For instance, companies that reduce their carbon emissions and pollution levels are often offered tax exemptions and other assets for their cooperation in the country's movement towards environmental awareness and responsibility.

...Introduction and structure
Sometimes even the most brightest of minds fail. Doug Ivester, head of the Coca-Cola Company for only a little more than two years, resigned after an unofficial meeting with the two board members Warren Buffet and Herbert Alan. Fostered by former CEO Goizueta for over 10 years, he took over this position of one of the highest ranked global brands after Goizueta’s unforseeable death. As it turned out, Ivester could not generate the results he was expected to (Morris & Sellers 2000).

Statements like “The highly disciplined organizations are the most creative...We operate with a rigid control system.” (Morris & Sellers 2000, p.116) indicate his rational, objective and authority...

...“The Industrial Revolution could NOT havehappened without Britain’s involvement in the world economy”.
The industrial revolution was a major event that took place over a fair duration of time around the 17th century which has changed the face of this planet. The change came about initially in Europe and then spread to latte parts of the world incorporating technology and efficiency in to daily production and ultimately decreasing inputs and increasing outputs. However, this appears to be beneficial, which it was, but there were negative effects which were associated with these changes. This essay will discuss Britain’s involvement in the world economy with regards to the industrial revolution and how it benefitted societies on a whole, but will also touch on the negative connotations which came about through these events.
Many economic historians try to analyse why the industrial revolution came about in Europe and especially in Britain. Factors such as international trade, culture, geography, institutions, incentives and possibly luck all contributed to why Britain leaped ahead of other countries in the race for power and wealth. The Malthusian trap is the theory that explains pre-industrial revolution economies where there were no sustained increases in living standards; this was the time period before 1730. Britain’s institutions were very advanced and subsequently educated people which allowed for inventions to take...

...What the Heck Just Happened. The Causes of the Financial Meltdown in 2008.
Paul J. Mahoney
Brandman University
The Government of the United States, in an attempt to appease everyone and level a playing field, as well as stave off a recession created the biggest reasons for the financial meltdown of 2008. “US. Housing policies are the root cause of the current financial crisis. Other players, greedy investment bankers; foolish investors; imprudent bankers; incompetent rating agencies; irresponsible housing speculators; shortsighted homeowners; and predatory mortgage brokers, lenders, and borrowers—all played a part, but they were only following the economic incentives that government policy laid out for them” (Wallison, 2011).
“Investment banks like Bear Stearns are the lifeblood of capital markets, providing the cash flow that keeps economic gears turning. They facilitate short-term loans to businesses, raise money for corporate expansions and IPOs and assist the trading of securities. Without them, financial markets would grind to a halt” (NPR, 2008).
While Government intervention played a huge role in this crisis, Investment banks and their bundling and selling off of mortgages for profit exposed this mess. One of those banks, and the first to fall was Bear Stearns. In 2007, “Bear Stearns, the 5th largest investment bank in the US, announced large losses in 2 of its hedge funds with exposure to subprime assets. Clients...

...Whathappened?
At 10:10am on 26th January 1966, the three Beaumont children caught a bus to go to the beach. The bus stop was less than 100 metres from their home. The bus driver, Mr I. D. Monroe, confirmed that he had seen the children get on and off his bus. A passenger also noticed them and was able to recall the colours of the clothes the children were wearing and that Jane was carrying a copy of the book Little Women. The children got off the bus at 10:15am. The police believed that the local postman, Tom Patterson, saw the children walking along Jetty Rd towards the beach. The postman knew the children and they yelled to him, “It’s the postie!” However Mr Patterson now believes that this encounter was in the afternoon not the morning.
At about 11am a 74 year old woman was sitting in front of the Holdfast Sailing Club building on a bench under some trees when she saw the three children playing under a sprinkler on the lawn of Colley Reserve. There was a man with them wearing blue swimming trunks lying face down in the grass. He seemed to be watching the children. About 15 minutes later she saw the man playing with the children who were flicking him with their towels.
